Err, don't you mean the B-35/B-49 Flying Wing, along with the B-47?

The B-39 was a B-29 with Allison liquid cooled engines and was not produced.
Actually, It was the Convair B-36 that was in Strategic Air Command along with the B-47.

IIRC, one of the B-36s nicknames was the Aluminum Overcast.

Hey, no snark from me. I save it for movie representation, not the real Air Force. ;)

The dambusters?

No, sorry, that's the original air force.

RAF, actually

And even if it wasn't a movie about the RAF, there are plenty of good movies about the Army Air Corps/USAAF. ...They're just mostly in black and white, and have names like Peck in the credits.

Ahhh, I thought the original point of this exercise was to name movies of USAF (post 1947) competence.
